what do i need for power
i have a 2001 5.4l king ranch and i am wanting to either put some type of turbo in it or a supecharger, what would be my best bet could i get advice on both and where to purchase i have a air intake and edge evo but i want more power
thanks
thanks
I'd suggest a Lightning swap. You could get a pretty good priced supercharger off of ebay and the remaining parts from Mad Enterprise.
Lose the edge and get a SCT X Cal 2. Either get your truck dyno tuned or get custom tunes from Troyer Performance. Either way, you'll need the X Cal 2.

yeah I agree, the lightning swap is what I would do... Custom tuning and the kit from www.madenterprise.com
I have the same vehicle as you. About a year ago I did an L swap with custom tune. Picked up the blower, intake... from Monkeybiscuit on ebay and the remainder of the parts from Madenterprise. Couldn't be happier with the result.
First thing to do once the truck is running with a tune is to get a dyno pull WITH wide band air fuel monitoring. Get the truck below 13.5-14 air-fuel ratio. Running a blown motor lean with KILL it.
Expect intown fuel milage to drop to ~11.5 and highway to drop to ~14.5 mpg.
Did all of the work myself, spent ~$4K for everything with tune.
+1 on the Troyer tune. Other tuners I have used took 8+ weeks to send me an updated tune with we found out the truck was running dangerously lean.
